Strategic shall pay all the costs and expenses of such audit unless a deficiency of 5% or more of the amount due is determined to exist.  Mill City shall pay the costs and expenses of such audit if a deficiency of 5% or more of the amount due is determined to exist. |

| 10.   | All books and records used and kept by Mill City to calculate the Strategic Royalty due hereunder shall be kept in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles or International Financial Reporting Standards, as applicable. |
